(a)-(i) I am advised by the Department of Education that it is not possible to provide "truancy numbers" with any degree of accuracy. The principals of the schools have indicated that in most cases they do not consider the unexplained absences to be incidents of truancy. They consider "truants", that is students not attending when parents/carers believe they are at school, to be very few.
Attendance rates for all schools are available on the Department of Education's Schools Online website.
